Since its introduction, the FRC’s match clock has been one of the most troublesome amendments
The least enthusiastically received FRC idea was that of the match clock, which attracted the support of a relatively restrained 74 per cent of delegates. Photograph: James Crombie/Inpho managed to have all of its provisions accepted for implementation in the 2025 season. It was a remarkable feat of persuasion in less than a year.
Since 2015, things have changed. The whole area of time was reviewed and in response to rising concern about gamesmanship, a new set of guidelines were issued to referees. Maurice Bogue was the inventor of the eponymous Bogue Clock, a pioneering idea to display time at GAA grounds, which would be stopped and restarted as the referee indicated. The point was to ensure that a full hour would be played in matches.
“The advent of the Bogue Clock as timekeeper instead of the referee was on trial and pleased the public, who were able to follow the different stages of the game,” the report said.
